I knew of the basic works such as the Mona Lisa by Leornardo Da Vinci and the Crowning of Napoleon, among others. I had no idea on what makes a painting a fine art in general or how it can reflect beauty to those who view it. I had never really looked at paintings as anything more than canvas or paint that represented a being or a historical moment in time.  The ideas of types of materials or ways to actually sculpt a piece did not come across my mind prior to the module.]]> 2019-05-08 06:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/seanpatrick_sy/lhpz31ufk3ue/wish/357922808 seanpatrick_sy https://padlet.com/seanpatrick_sy/lhpz31ufk3ue/wish/357932265 In such a short time, there was really not anything that I could have learned about the general basics of paintings as a fine arts. I've learned techniques, values, styles, and even how to view them. If I were to find something small to learn about, it would have been nice to delve in deeper about modern paintings such as works done by Andy Warhol, Kieth Haring or Basquiat. I just thought it would have been insightful if we had picked up more on the pieces of the modern day. Other than that, I feel that the module on painting covered everything that was needed in terms of the general basics.]]> 2019-05-08 07:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/seanpatrick_sy/lhpz31ufk3ue/wish/357932265 seanpatrick_sy https://padlet.com/seanpatrick_sy/lhpz31ufk3ue/wish/357933269 With such a limited amount on time to learn about about painting as a fine arts, I have learned quite a lot. Now being able to distinguish the differences on how a painting is made through its different techniques such as through simple canvas or frescos. As well as what type of style a painting was done by could dramatically change the way we view a certain piece. The best example that comes to mind from our lectures in class would be how different we would view the painting, Supper at Emmaus, if it had been done without the Chiaroscuro technique to draw out the values and lighting techniques of it. I have also learned how the artists who created certain pieces that although may seem plain and standstill, may seem lively and full of emotional engagement. Lastly, identifying the changes of paintings throughout the course of history has fascinated me a great deal as seeing the evolution of sculpture from Middle Ages and Renaissance to the modern impressionistic pieces are what caught my eye. I sculpture that I found particularly beautiful was Tintoretto's take on The Last Supper.]]> 2019-05-08 07:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/seanpatrick_sy/lhpz31ufk3ue/wish/357933269
